I love the smooth feel and long life, reports an Elixir electric bass string player (14202). Elixir applies their ultra thin, nanoweb coating AFTER their bass strings are wound unlike most coated strings that are coated before the winding process. This patented process prevents impurities from building up between the windings which can significantly shorten the life of the string.

Elixir offers five 4-string bass sets and one 5-string set, all nanoweb coated. For 5-string and 6-string sets choose a four string set from the listing above and then add a high C and/or low B string from the single string section: NanoWeb Single Strings

A professional player states, In the recording studio I don't have time to change strings on all of my instruments. All my basses have Elixir strings on them and they are ready to go at anytime. Another says, I've used these strings for a number of years and do so because they last a long time, have good tone and are easy on the frets.
